CITY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 



Thirty-three of the forty-seven boys and girls who tried for tree study 

 prizes received awards. These also were the gift of Mr. Morris who gen- 

 erously provided a total of fifty dollars for the two contests. 



Naming the Trees 



The work of identifying and labeling city trees is progressing, Mr. 

 Morris supplying funds for continuing this work. One hundred and fifty- 

 five trees now bear the neat metal markers, and with the season opening 

 the work will be resumed. 



Gifts 



Each year brings additions that as single objects or collections enrich 

 various departments. The past year has been no exception to the rule, 

 and to persons from whom such contributions have been received the 

 museum makes most grateful acknowledgment for much appreciated 

 gifts. 



The Catharine L. Howard Library 



In this busy year with its demands for information, the resources of 

 the Howard Library have been especially appreciated. Through books 

 it makes its intellectual contribution. Through the charm of its setting 

 it supplies an atmosphere without which the museum would lack a cer- 

 tain appeal. Through their interest and approval its members have 

 built strong friendships with the museum staff. Thus the loss of two of 

 its officers is keenly felt. 



Their library is a memorial to a beloved teacher, established "in 

 gratitude for the beauty of her character and the inspiration of her 

 life". In gratitude for the beauty of their characters and the inspiration 

 of their lives, a memory of Mrs. Philhps and Mrs. Bowles will abide 

 with us. 



Respectfully submitted, 



GRACE P. JOHNSON, Director,
